So I made this Facebook post about killing a scorpion yesterday. The experience was horrifying! I do NOT NOT NOT NOT handle bugs very well. When I saw the scorpion, I cussed really loud and hid behind a wall and peeked at it. There was no way I was taking my eyes of it. If […]
My sister and brother-in-law have two dogs, Molly and Harper. They are about the same size (medium) and the same age as well. Since we moved to Phoenix, Molly has put on some weight. How much weight? Let me illustrate: Fat Molly – Example 1 The other night, Chris (my brother-in-law) let the dogs out […]
OK I’ve been forty for over a month now. And the fact is finally starting to sink in… Nah, screw that. It’s really not. I definitely don’t feel 40. In fact, I don’t think I feel more than about 19. Maybe even 12. That may be a *slight* exaggeration. What I do feel like is […]
Picture it: Pampa, TX, 1989. I was attending a breakfast at the local church and had just loaded my plate with pancakes and sausages (covered in maple syrup…yeah!). After pouring on the last of the goop, I turned to see the popular guys waving me over. I was the dorkiest kid at St. Vincent de […]
It’s time for another wacky Cody post! How many people are cheering and how many are throwing up? So we decided to go swimming the other day. In preparation, I went to the store to buy some sunscreen. Waiting in the checkout line, I realized I also needed SPF lip balm. As I grabbed the […]

In honor of April Fools, I wanted to think up something really weird. Ultimately, I was trying to come up with something believable but ultimately untrue. However, as I was reminiscing, I realized that real life is indeed stranger than anything i could come up with. (For example, the bomb drill post I did a […]
Next week marks one year since we moved to Phoenix. Holy crap! On one hand, I can’t believe it’s been that long. It feels like just yesterday I moved to Page. On the other hand, I’m surprised (and thrilled) I’ve learned so much about writing in just one year. I’ve also experience eighty zillion days […]
Sometimes, you hear a gem so amazing and perfectly polished, you have to share it with the world. This, my friends, is like the diamond thing Kate Winslet gets in Titanic. When I heard this story, I was floored. And so very happy. I had been struggling for a blog idea and the timing couldn’t […]
A few days ago marked the one-year anniversary of our hospital stay in Omaha. In case you’ve forgotten (or never knew in the first place), my sister went to a specialist there for a couple surgeries. We were only supposed to be in the hospital a few days (with a 4-5 day break in between each […]
